The biggest difference from England is that France worked out how to play against Iceland and actually defended rather than stand around and watch Iceland score. England are quite capable of playing that (or near that) sort of attacking football when there is no pressure but you have to earn it like France did and they are now getting their reward.

Sorry this isn't remotely right.

The biggest difference between France and us is that they have far better players and far more of them. And England are not capable of playing attacking football to anywhere near what France are capable of - when it comes to international football we don't have Payet. Or anyone close to the likes of him, Pogba, etc.

Agree with what someone just said though - I think the Germans may have too much nous for France. Be a good game though.
